Bible Lesson for Kids - God cares about you so much that He even counts the number of hairs on your head! Find the entire lesson and coloring page here.

Text: Matthew 10:30

Main Idea: God Cares About You

Objects needed: Jar of buttons; larger jar of rubber bands or paper clips, etc; jar of sand, hairbrush

A large glass jar full of buttons, from our "God Cares for You" Bible lessons for kids

Lesson: Today we’re going to talk about counting, and we’re going to talk about how much God cares for us.

First, let me show you the objects I brought with me. Here’s a jar of buttons, a jar of rubber bands, a jar of sand, and a hairbrush. [Let kids hold the objects.]

Let’s look at the jar of buttons first. Could you count all those buttons? I’m sure you could, especially if you dumped them all out on a table first. It wouldn’t take you very long.

Could you count all the rubber bands in this big jar? That would take a lot longer, but I’m sure you could do that, too.

Now look at this small jar of sand. Each little speck is called a grain of sand. Could you count all the grains in this jar? That would be very hard. What about all the grains of sand in all the beaches in the whole world? That would be impossible! But God already knows how many there are!

A blue hairbrush, from our "God Cares for You" Bible lessons for kids

Now look at this hairbrush. Did you know that every time you brush your hair you probably lose several hairs? Every day, hair comes out and new hairs grow in. Do you think you could keep track of that number when it changes so often? No, probably not. But God knows!

Not only does he know about the sand in the beaches, but he knows all about things right in your own body—because he loves you and cares about you very much.

You may have noticed that some people have a lot of hair, and some people don’t. Many times men become bald as they get older. (Let me tell you a secret. Women lose their hair sometimes, too!) People of any age may lose hair because of medicines they have to take. No matter the age of the person, losing your hair can be upsetting!

In the Bible, in Matthew 10:31, we read: “Even the hairs of your head are numbered.” [Read this passage, and a few more verses directly from the Bible.]

God cares about me so much, he already knows how much hair is on (or isn’t on!) my head. And he is going to take care of me, even if all my hair falls out! He knows how much hair is on each one of your heads, too! Isn’t God amazing?

Children, think about how much God must care for us when he keeps track of even the number of hairs on our head! Don’t you think he also cares about our problems?

Conclusion and Coloring Page
